FOUR WHITE FANTAIL PIGEONS SEEK SHELTER
Someone in Orewa, Auckland area obviously dismantled their dovecote or their aviary leaving about 15 beautiful white fantail pigeons homeless.
Most of them have been killed by traffic on the main highway, but four have been rescued. If you have a large aviary or chicken coop-like construction offering perches and shelter for 2-3 months, please apply for their adoption. They will initially be wing-clipped so that they don’t return to Orewa.

OCTAVIA & HER EIGHT CHICKS NEED A SAFE HAVEN
When hens and roosters are dumped in public places, they encounter all manner of suffering. This beautiful family was very lucky to set up home where caring retirement village residents contacted me for help. Please keep in mind that Octavia is likely to have equal numbers of hens and cockerels in her clutch. You will therefore need to have a plan in place to stop further breeding and to ensure that all nine chickens live out the length of their natural lifespan.

COCKATIEL & TWO CANARY FRIENDS
Sadly, when the children lost interest in them and the caregiver decided to renovate, this little trio became superfluous.
Their ages and gender are unknown and they have not been handled as pets.
They are used to a large walk-in aviary and must be adopted into a similarly spacious environment.
